P.D.F. often has trouble with fonts, and sometimes with placement. I can offer only a few suggestions: >>Some distillers have an option to include font definitions explicitly. Use this option. >>Some distillers warn you that they are substituting one font for another that is unavailable to be distilled. >>If one distiller does not work, try another. I find that sometimes Acrobat Distiller distills correctly and GhostScript does not--and sometimes vice versa. >>Sometimes the fault lies with the viewer. Try viewing your P.D.F. files with both Acrobat Reader and GhostView. >>As Windows slowly dies out, PostScript will become a more viable alternative to P.D.F. Fiat, fiat. Amen. -- Col. G. L.
